https://youtu.be/FtPE0nrhqPw In this video, Swami Mukundananda explains the three reasons why we are not happy always. The true Definition of Happiness is - it should be ever fresh, ever-increasing, and Infinite in extent. However, the happiness we get in this world is Ever Decreasing - You have a cup of ice cream, it gives you happiness the first time, you have one more, the happiness decreases a bit and after a while and so on. Finite and Not Fresh - You have a wonderful time on a weekend outing, and the next day you come home and feel bored. So how to attain that Eternal Happiness, which is every Fresh, Infinite and Ever-increasing, that happiness which will satiate your soul?
